How to make Mango-Chutney Chicken with Roasted Carrots And Courgette

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 204°C.

If you'd like your chicken plain, toss breasts with 1 tablespoon oil and 3/4 teaspoons salt on a rimmed baking sheet. For simple roasted vegetables, toss carrots and courgette with 2 tablespoons oil and 3/4 teaspoons salt on a rimmed baking sheet.

Option 2: Add a little more flavour Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoons pepper, then spread 2 tablespoons mango chutney over top of each breast. Roast on top rack until an instant-read thermometer registers 74°C, 23–28 minutes. Toss carrots and courgette with cumin, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Roast on bottom rack, tossing once halfway through, until cooked through, tender, and browned in spots, 25–30 minutes.

Option 3: Take it next level Make a curried yoghurt sauce for the chicken: Mix yoghurt, orange juice, curry powder, and salt in a medium bowl. For a fresh and crunchy topping for the vegetables, mix coriander and cashews in a small bowl.

Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Serve curried yoghurt sauce and coriander-cashew mixture alongside.
